I like the fit on this bra, I think it's accurate. The cups are foam but they are thin foam and don't add size. The stitching details are also really pretty. I will be buying this in other colors at some point. Also, this bra won't show up under a shirt!

I have the Fantasie Smoothing Balcony bra, both the padded and unlined, and wear them constantly. I love the unlined, it has great support and shape. My only wish is that they came in more colors than black and nude. So I was so happy to find the Echo bra in red, it is beautiful!! It has the same great fit and feel as the Smoothing but definitely prettier. Please make both of these bras in more colors! I would say the unlined styles are consistently sized in both styles, however the padded Smoothing runs just slightly bigger in the cup. I wear a 34 E. Also all of the Fantasie bras wash well and seem to be lasting much longer than other brands.

After loving this bra and then hating it and then loving it again, I have finally decided that I do indeed love this bra and it is my favorite.
This was my first bra in 32G (UK sizing) after I was fit properly. I loved it in the beginning but eventually the scratchy lace got to me. More so because I am short and the sides come almost to the armpits sometimes and that was NOT comfortable.
Now after having returned a tonne of Panache, Freya, Wacoal, Curvy Kate and what not, I realised that this gave me the best shape.
The most important thing is that it holds up and forward and doesn't push to the sides (which only makes you feel like the boobs are being smashed and looks large/shapeless both from sides and front). Indeed, I haven't even found a bra which does it as much as this does. Secondly, it has excellent side support- also very flattering. The other things about this bra is the thick straps, imagine having heavy breasts on noodles straps! And it has a thick sides and band.
I would definitely change the lace to a softer fabric. For people which unusual (read large) breasts, who have so few bras to choose from, we would be okay with cotton! Don't try to make it pretty, make it strong!
